[Intro]
*Unintelligible speaking*
[Verse 1]
In a desert valley, near the Rio Grande
Through the sun baked wasteland, across the burning sand
On the edge of nowhere, in a hidden place
They were looking for an answer, to the power of the sun
[Pre-Chorus]
From out of the skies came the burning death
Could anyone foresee?
The raging terror coming from above
To erase humanity
In a blinding flash came the fireball
Melting skin and bone
It was a mighty city just blown away
Like dust before a storm
[Chorus]
Where is the city?
Where are the people?
There's only shadows on the wall
There is no city
There are no people
There's only shadows on the wall
[Verse 2]
There were children were playing in Los Alamos
Nuclear fusion, critical mass
Start a chain reaction, build the doomsday toy
Split the tiny atom, your little boy
[Pre-Chorus]
From out of the skies came the burning death
Could anyone foresee?
The raging terror coming from above
To erase humanity
In a blinding flash came the fireball
Melting skin and bone
A mighty city just blown away
Like dust before a storm
[Chorus]
Where is the city?
Where are the people?
There's only shadows on the wall
There is no city
There are no people
There's only shadows on the wall
[Guitar Solo]
[Verse 3]
On a clear blue morning, of the fateful day
Silver wings of destruction, the Enola Gay
Unleash the awesome power, release it from it's cage
Opening the doorway to the nuclear age
[Chorus]
Where is the city? (Where is the city?)
Where are the people? (Where are the people?)
There's only shadows on the wall
Where is the city? (Where is the city?)
Where are the people? (Where are the people?)
There's only shadows on the wall (Shadows on the wall)
There is no city (There is no city)
There are no people (There are no people)
There's only shadows on the wall
[Outro]
*Sounds of children*
